CHAPERONE DUTIES

WHAT TO BRING TO BRAYTON HALL

As well as costumes and accessories, please pack a hairbrush or comb, hairspray and lipstick, drinking water, snacks* and quiet activities.

To ensure a professional performance experience for our audience and to keep all students safe and secure, students are required to remain in their assigned dressing room while the show is in progress. Our amazing chaperones will supervise the children. Students may only leave when directed by a chaperone — this will be for their performance and for the final Curtain Call, otherwise known as the Finale.

We recommend sending children with activities to do whilst in their dressing rooms. Card games, colouring (pencils not pens), headphones with pre-loaded music, games, movies or shows to help them stay quietly occupied while they wait.

Four dressing room areas have been allocated — please refer to the attached information for your child’s location.

Please take a moment before the weekend to remind your child about the importance of being quiet, calm and respectful backstage.

*Choose snacks that are easy to manage independently and won’t create mess on costumes.

TCI Rugby will also be providing a beverage and snack bar on Sunday.
